After a prolonged desire to dine at this establishment, my husband and I finally made the decision…read moreto do so on a romantic evening. However, I must express my disappointment with the overall experience. The menu, while seemingly promising, fell short of expectations. While I would be willing to elaborate on the specific dishes that did not meet my standards, it would be excessive. The staff was a mix of friendly and unprofessional. One of the male staff with long hair displayed poor decorum when we entered the dining area, making the experience uncomfortable. Furthermore, the staff engaged in unnecessary conversations from a distance, as if the restaurant were deserted. While the inside section was relatively empty and we were the only client in the interior area, this did not deter the staff from running around and acting as if they were late or overworked. The overall experience was uncomfortable. In contrast, our waitress was exceptionally pleasant and attentive. Despite our lack of interaction, she continued to engage in conversation with me while completely ignoring my husband. It is unclear whether this was due to my Caucasian appearance and my husband's African American background, or if there was another reason. However, it was evident that they were solely interested in hearing my opinions and orders.

Okay, so we love the food here, and the service is always friendly and efficient. I especially…read morelove their carbonara, even though it isn't on the actual menu. And I love that they will often make a dish that isn't on the menu. My biggest gripe, which annoys me to no end, is that they don't take reservations for fewer than 6 people, so the only time we are able to get in is around 3 pm. I even called to see if they made an exception to this policy on Valentine's Day, and they said they would accept reservations for 4. One time I tried to get a reservation for our anniversary, but since there were only 2 of us, they wouldn't do it. I'm sorry, but I don't want to spend special occassions like that with other people. So, sadly, we often dine elsewhere, when Terramia would be our first preference.

WOW. I had the Black Grouper Plicata, and it was hands down the best seafood dish I've ever…read moreeaten--perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a reminder of why fresh, well-prepared seafood is unbeatable. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service attentive without being rushed, and the whole evening felt special from start to finish. We had a fantastic night and are already looking forward to our next visit. Exceptional food, great service, and a place you'll want to return to again and again.

Ugh I kind of hate writing this review because we've loved Antonio's downstairs for years. When…read morethey announced that they'd been bought, the first thing that jumped out was that I hoped the market wouldn't change that much. Well, sigh, it definitely has. I can no longer run over for produce or some proteins for dinner. I happily supported them over Publix for years. The shelving areas have been cut in half. The wine cooler is no more (granted it hasn't cooled properly in quite awhile). One of the best parts of Antonio's downstairs was being able to grab a bottle of reasonably priced wine with the $5 cork fee but the Prosecco we've enjoyed for years has increased over $5 a bottle plus that cork fee... not the deal we've had in the past. They did add a happy hour downstairs... that ends at 5pm. Catering to retirees maybe? The restaurant space is more open due to the downsizing of the market. The service is not the same though most of the staff seems happy to be there. I know things can't stay the same forever but super bummed about this one. I guess I should just be grateful for the years we had with the original.

First of all Ask for Brielle…read more She was wonderful and made awesome suggestion. My first time dining here. Just like coming into an Italian grandma kitchen. I tried the sweet red wine. Very nice per Brielle's suggestion. We shared meatballs. Very very nice flavor. My husband had the lasagna soup. Very flavorful. He also had the baked ravioli. It was overflowing with taste and was a wow moment. The garlic rolls served were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had the blanco pizza. Sooo good. Perfect crust. Perfect blend of garlic, olive oil and cheese. We will definitely be back and become a regular.

We bought a bottle of sangria and it was delicious and we were able to share among three people! Let's talk about the food! Where do I even start! ALL OF IT WAS DELICIOUS! I had leftovers the next day and they were even better. The lemon butter wine sauce was perfection and the seafood tasted fresh! The tiramisu was SO good! Not too sweet and not too dense. I'm not a big fan of calamari but I did have some and there are peppers in there too so fair warning there is some heat. The garlic bread looked like huge garlic knots and were very filling. The service was great and the vibe in here is like a small family Italian kitchen. This place has been around for years and it's no surprise with the experience we had.

It is our go to spot at least three times a month we absolutely love everyone they are from the owner Francesco to Ben the other chef they put so much effort into their food and what quality it is absolutely delicious.

If you have not tried Francesco's in Maitland I highly recommend you do I guarantee you will not be disappointed . Everything is magnificent and so fresh made to order right there . Go try it it is a great atmosphere also so much fun every time we go and never disappointed. I am so upset on this review that I cannot leave photos of the food because every time we go we take a photo of the food the portions are huge you always have left over to bring home . Thank you Francesco's for such Fine Food and a great price .

After hearing from my family for years about this place, I finally had the pleasure of experiencing…read morethis restaurant for myself. We had a later reservation, but the restaurant was still packed and lively! The food was fantastic as a whole. Bread service, great. We got a half order of regular mussels and half order of spicy mussels (spicy was my fav of the two). House salad comes with a great balsamic dressing. All of the dinners were authentic, large portioned, and reasonably priced for the quality of the meal. The only real average portion of the meal was the side of meatballs, but I may be partial (my grandmother is Italian and makes homemade meatballs that cannot be beat ). The desserts were also phenomenal - we got a pistachio cake and a lemon cake. Couldn't decide which I liked better. Only feedback for this fantastic meal was....they had a fun live singer/italian band that went from table to table. As fun as it was, they were so so so loud that it was difficult to talk at your table if they were singing anywhere near you in the restaurant. All in all, 5/5! A must try.
